It's more the who "it's official now" thing, he was effectively retired before he officially retired.
Hollywood has always had problems and always will. Finding the right way to use special effects technology is just one of a laundry list of issues that will always persist. A New technology will often be used unnecessarily, making certain moves worse experiences by focusing on a gimmick rather than an entertaining story and characters. When a film is CGI driven failure is easy to see, when film makers misuse it or rely on it too wow the audience to try and make what is a sub par effort successful. There will also always be film makers who use technology right, who can use a spectacular CG effect to make a film better.
